Simply praying the rosary brought me back to the Mass after years away and a life of mortal sin.

I wish I could find the exact quote, but I can't. I could almost swear it was a recent Pope, but one should always be critical of second- or third-hand quotes like that.<BR/><BR/>But when I asked people who wore it, people told me that the Scapular is not magic. The prayer that it requires is a sort of discipline that one must choose and there's no penalty for not meeting its responsibilities, or for not choosing to wear one in the first place. I'm not enrolled in the scapular, I didn't think I'd have the time to pray a rosary every day and I have hope that God's grace will come to me in another way on my last day, if that's correct to say.tour86rockerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04369240659677103435noreply@blogger.com
